How can i save my 1yr history ?

I have firefox 15.1 on my Mac OSX 10.6 and i need to save the firefox history for 1yr because i will install new OS so i need to save the history, how can i do that??
Thanks

You need to create a backup copy of the ''places.sqlite'' file before installing the new operating system. In short, it goes like this:
# Locate '''[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|your profile folder]]'''.
# Quit Firefox.
# Create a backup copy of the ''places.sqlite'' file in a safe location that won't be affected by the operating system upgrade (like a removable Flash drive).
# Upgrade your operating system.
# Locate '''[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|your profile folder]]'''. Depending on how you've performed the upgrade, you might find that your old profile folder has been preserved, along with all the data in it, and restoring the backup is not necessary.
# Quit Firefox.
# Replace the current ''places.sqlite'' file with the backup you created earlier.
''places.sqlite-shm'' and ''places.sqlite-wal'' are temporary files that should only exist while Firefox is running. If you can't find them while Firefox is closed, it's a good thing.

  • How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

    In ACR,
    How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

    Do you mean you are wanting to save your adjustments file-by-file as you work on them without exiting ACR via Done and then having to go back into ACR from Bridge, each time?  I don’t know as you can that.  For Cancel to undo all adjustments for the batch of images, there can’t be something else that saves the adjustments incrementally for individual images.  Of course you’re in trouble if you accidentally hit Cancel after doing a batch of edits and lose everything.
    The Bridge/ACR workflow was developed many years ago and is pretty simple-minded.
    An alternative would be using Lightroom that remembers each adjustment as you do it and stores it in a permanent history so the adjustments are saved immediately but also can be undone, last-to-first, at any point in the future, for a particular image.

  • How can I make a waveform graph store the entire wave, not just the current time period and how can I save the actual graph?

    I am taking temp readings with a 4 channel DAQ, sending them to a waveform graph and exporting the data to excel, how do I manipulate the graph to take a continuous reading as opposed to losing the previous GUI and how can I save the entire graph?
    Using LabVIEW 2011 operating on Windows 7 professional. 

    That is the nature of the chart -- everything not in the history is lost (it is a FIFO buffer of length=1024 samples by default).
    The scroll bar is probably grayed out because you're show all of the data.
    Attached is a program that will add 5 random points to a graph and prompt you for a file location where to save a JPG snapshot of the graph.  It's not particularly good programming style, but it has all of the elements/concepts you're after.

  • How can I save a cookie?

    I play some long internet flash games and sometimes I am running so many programs that it crashes Firefox. When it restarts I have lost all of my game data and I have to start all over. From what I understand all Firefox cookies are stored in one document. I have Windows Vista and cannot find that document. The game cookie might be a flash cookie.
    I can see all of my individual cookies in firefox->options->options->privacy->remove individual cookies but it does not show its location and does not allow me to modify it.
    Is there a way I can protect my cookies from a Firefox crash?
    Is there a way to protect a cookie so that when I perform a "clear history" the cookie is not deleted?
    Is there a way that I can modify a cookie (so I can get more in game money and stuff)?
    How can I save a cookie? As in copy it, save it in a separate folder and paste it back in if the cookie is deleted?
    Thank you.

    Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Keep until: I close Firefox
    Create a cookie 'allow' exception for cookies that you would like to keep.
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions
    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Cookies
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

  • How can I make sure my history doesn't expire and that I can transfer over places.sqlite?

    There's probably alot of questions on this subject asked already but I've gone over just about all of the possibly relevant ones that've been already asked and I still can't figure out what to do. I'm trying to move my complete history from an XP Firefox profile over to a Windows 7 profile on another computer. Do I just do it by copying the places.sqlite file within that XP profile over into my USB flash drive, then replacing the places.sqlite in the Winodws 7 profile with the one from the other one? And after the file's in the right profile will I be able to just view all the sites I viewed on the old computer on the new one's history dialog box? I only am transferring my XP history to my Windows 7 because I want to look at stuff several months back and it keeps expiring on me, even to the point of getting rid of a month of history a week or so ago. This brings me to my other point, I keep up fairly well with updating both of my Firefoxes but recently (and I think this was way, way after they updated the browser so the history isn't set to expire by days anymore) the history just isn't reliable anymore. My XP will not only expire older months of history faster and faster it seems, but individual websites at the end of each month will actually disappear as I view new ones, instead of it all staying in there and just expiring each old month as a whole. Also, random sites in every month scattered all over the list of URLs will just disappear, and random sites that I've only visited in the past couple days will insert themselves randomly into much older months of history, which makes it hard to figure out the URLs I've seen, this last one seems like a common problem from what I've read, and all of these problems seem to be slowly creeping into my Windows 7 as well when they were originally on only my XP. The thing is for a very long time my Windows 7 would keep every ounce of my history that I kept on it, unless of course I went through the Clear History process myself. Now it seems to be slowly deleting it and having all the other problems that I mentioned earlier. I've got 592 GB out of 931 GB that's free space on my Windows 7 that I want to transfer my XP history into, and my Control Panel System panel says I've got 8 gbs of RAM in total. If I need to get some other information on RAM mention how to do that if you could. So in total, how can I transfer my XP history over into my Windows 7 so I can view all the sites I viewed on my XP in my Windows 7 history panel, as well as view all the old expired and/or manually deleted history on my Windows 7, without worrying about whether it will expire itself while I'm viewing it and writing down the relevant URLs that I need to know about. If I can only keep all my history through installing an add-on, a link to a relevant legal add-on that'll work well on both operating systems would be appreciated. Thanks to all here. (:

    Hello Saethwyr99,
    ''Do I just do it by copying the places.sqlite file within that XP profile over into my USB flash drive, then replacing the places.sqlite in the Winodws 7 profile with the one from the other one?''
    you are correct : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile#w_your-important-data-and-their-files Your important data and their files]
    ''Also, random sites in every month scattered all over the list of URLs will just disappear, and random sites that I've only visited in the past couple days will insert themselves randomly into much older months of history, which makes it hard to figure out the URLs I've seen, this last one seems like a common problem from what I've read, and all of these problems seem to be slowly creeping into my Windows 7 as well when they were originally on only my XP.''
    from Firefox 4 and above versions there is not a time limit for the history.
    Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept '''without affecting the performance.'''
    ''as well as view all the old expired and/or manually deleted history on my Windows 7''
    i think this in not possible
    ''If I can only keep all my history through installing an add-on, a link to a relevant legal add-on that'll work well on both operating systems would be appreciated.''

  • How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

    How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
    Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
    I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

  • How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD?

    I use HandBrake to rip DVD's into iTunes. How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD? For instance, I have a Jimi Hendrix documentary that comes with special features, such as concert performances. I would like to have the main feature and the special features saved in my iTunes under the same title, perhaps as different 'tracks' (kind of like how different songs can be saved under the same album).
    Is there a way for me to do this, or am I chasing phantoms?

    *This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
    Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
    If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • How can I save a file in the server?

    Hello,
    I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

    I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
    First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
    Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed? 
    Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
    When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
    (a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
    (b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years. 
    (c)  I sync with itunes regularly.
    (d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
    (e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
    I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S. 
    Thank you.

    Do you use iTunes to sync your iPad with a computer ?
    If so, do a sync before you reset your iPad and everything will be saved ready for the reset iPad.
    If not, anything you paid for using the App Store will still be available to you.  The App Store knows you paid for them and will just put them on your iPad again.
